Library Thing

Is anybody still out there?
Finally had some time to start on a pet project. I've been thinking that it would be good to have a community something for our libraries' Book Banters. So tonight, since it was kind of quiet, I've entered in all the books we've Bantered at all the bantering branches that I could find from previous Library Happenings. I got a little bogged down with the very first set because I can't find that issue. We did The Number One Ladies' Detective Angency here at Annapolis, and somebody did The Rule of Four - and there were others. Does anyone remember? I've tagged the entries with our 3 letter library codes so we can reorder the Thing Lists by branch (or however else you'd like).
Please take a look at the link here on the blog. If you'd like to add to it as Book Bantering continues then that would be great. I'd really like to see somewhere that we could collaborate on selecting titles etc. Guess I'll post that idea in the Programming Blog and see what response I get there.
Hey, this is pretty cool - actually using a 23 thing for library things - talk about transfer of training. Happy Joanne?

Jurassic Park in 5 Seconds

Uh oh - look at what I've found now - a whole series of movies in 5 seconds, but this is my favorite so far. Check it out!

You tube success

OKAY!!! The You tube video showed up as it's own post. Well, that's interesting and not what I wanted, but what the heck. Watch it anyway.

sudoku

You tube

I've been seeing things on You Tube for quite some time, and had been looking for something to show here. Most of the "funny" tubes that I've watched haven't been really funny to me. But then, accidentally, I came across this sudoku thing, that did make me grin. It was during a conversation we were having at the desk about megasudoku - a mixture of letters and numbers that of course is way beyond me. (I am very happy with my own enthusiasm about plain sudoku puzzles). Anyway, the whole post is at http://squidoo.com/megasudoku should you be interested in that level of difficulty.
If you just want to catch a quick chuckle (30 seconds) then check out this You Tube. (if it shows up here) hmmmmm guess that's one of the points of this 23 thing.

Zoho 2

So here I am at a different computer, and able to log in, retrieve my first doc (Trying out Zoho), and able to carry on without floppies, thumbdrives or even a sharp pencil.

Pretty nifty. tongue_out

Zo how do you do!!

embarassedTrying out Zoho

First impressions:

This is a little tricky without reading the directions. But who reads directions? Seems that one should be able to click and go, once familiar with a similar program.

Let's put more smilies in kiss

Yay! that was fun.

let's take this to the nth degree

I like the subscript superscript buttons, but how do I turn off the highlighting foot in mouth

Whoa, fun colors too

Is it gone?The orange bands are "quotes" I think.

You can switch to other Zoho functions as well. Very cool. I like the look of Zoho planner. It seems quicker to set up than Outlook!!

Unfortunately this exploration is all I have time for at the moment. I wonder if I can send this to post on Deb's blog???
